Chapter 41

"This... This is Class A资质!"

"Heavens, how many Class A students do we have in our academy?"

"Let alone our academy, even nationwide, Class A资质 is extremely rare."

...

The people around him exclaimed in shock. The teacher who conducted the test also changed his cold attitude, smiling and asking for his information. This world is so pragmatic; if your strength is high enough, minor moral flaws don't matter much.

Moreover, what just happened was just one person's account. Who knows the real truth?

Hong Xingying walked down from the stage, basking in the shocked and envious gazes around him. He felt as refreshed as if he had eaten a watermelon on a scorching summer day. At the same time, he secretly regretted it. If he had known this, why did he toil for the Chu family like a slave for so many years? No matter how well he did, Miss Chu only saw him as a servant. If he had entered the academy earlier, he might already have the qualifications to stand on equal footing with Miss Chu.

Thinking of this, he resented the guy who got the benefit even more. He came directly to Zu An and said coldly, "Now you know the difference between us, right?"

Anger Value from Hong Xingying +66!

Zu An was puzzled. Logically, he should be feeling smug now. Why is he contributing anger value? Is this guy having his period or something?

"Next, Zu An!"

Hearing the teacher's call, Zu An walked over. The teacher pushed the crystal ball in front of him and said coldly, "A man should rely on his own strength to defeat his opponents. Tattling is not a commendable trait."

"Who is the best in your academy?" Zu An asked with a smile.

The teacher was taken aback and subconsciously answered, "Of course, it's the principal."

Zu An immediately asked, "What if the principal slapped you for no reason, what would you do?"

"I... The principal is a great person. She wouldn't do such a thing. If it really happened, there must be a reason."

Zu An sneered, "If I were you, I would report it to her superior. You don't even dare to tattle, what kind of future do you have?"

Anger Value from Ni Dian +233!

"Don't get worked up, don't get worked up!" A teacher nearby held back his colleague, laughing, and then said to Zu An, "Cough, cough, no more nonsense, hurry up and test!"

Zu An then dripped his blood onto the crystal ball. Upon closer inspection, he noticed some fine lines on the crystal ball, which were likely inscribed with some kind of magical array.

"What kind of资质 can this guy have?" Hong Xingying sneered inwardly but couldn't help stretching his neck to look.

"Damn, are you blind?"

Shouts of surprise echoed, and people around covered their eyes.

The crystal ball had turned into a sun, emitting an incredibly bright and blinding light, which was getting even brighter.

Then, with a bang, the crystal ball exploded, and the blinding light disappeared, leaving only a pile of black residue smoking on the table.

"What... What's going on?"

"Is this Class A Superior?"

"Impossible, even Class A Superior资质 wouldn't make the crystal ball explode."

"Then could it be the legendary Super Class?"

"Super Class is just a legend. Has anyone seen it in the past few hundred years?"

...

A graceful figure passing by stopped, her lips curling into a beautiful smile. "This Chu family's赘婿 is quite interesting."

The teachers in the academy were still discussing heatedly. Zu An walked down from the stage and came to Hong Xingying. "Now you understand the difference between us, right?"

Anger Value from Hong Xingying +999!

Hong Xingying's hands and feet were cold, his eyes filled with confusion, anger, and shame. He couldn't understand why things had turned out this way. It was supposed to be his moment to shine, but it ended up highlighting the guy he had always looked down upon. Why is the world so unfair to me!

Zu An bowed to the people around him, saying, "Please bear with me, please bear with me." His smug expression was like a street performer's.

"Anger Value from Wei Suo +66!"

"Anger Value from Ma Zhu +66!"

"Anger Value from..."

Looking at the series of income in the back, Zu An suddenly felt that having a bunch of cute classmates providing anger value made going to school a good idea.

Just as he was feeling smug, a weak voice sounded, "Son-in-law, didn't Lord test your资质 as Class D Inferior last time?"

Zu An turned around and saw Cheng Shouping looking at him with innocent eyes, filled with confusion and innocence.

This guy has no sense of the situation... Zu An sighed again, thinking it was a miracle that this guy had survived so long.

Hearing Cheng Shouping's words, Hong Xingying, like a drowning man grabbing a straw, laughed, "I remember, I remember, he was tested as Class D Inferior before..."

Then he recounted his identity and reputation in detail.

"So he is the Chu family's waste son-in-law?"

"What son-in-law, that's a赘婿!"

"How could Miss Chu look at him?"

"Maybe he has some special skills?"

...

A group of men showed a lecherous smile.

Some women also started discussing:

"He looks quite handsome, not as bad as the rumors."

"Of course, otherwise how would Chu Chuyan look at him?"

"What's the point of Chu Chuyan being so capable and talented if she ends up with such a waste of a husband?"

"Hehehe..."

The teachers who conducted the test had clearly heard of the Chu family's son-in-law. The teacher named Ni Dian sneered, "I thought so. It seems the testing ball was broken. Since the Duke tested him personally, it must be correct. Zu An, Class D Inferior资质, go to the Yellow Class."

The academy is divided into three grades, each grade divided into four classes based on资质: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow. Someone like Hong Xingying would definitely be in the Heaven Class, and the one with Class B Superior资质 earlier was also in the Heaven Class. Wei Suo, who had Class D Intermediate资质, was naturally assigned to the Yellow Class with Zu An.

Another teacher was about to say something but suddenly perked up his ears, looking at the beautiful figure in the distance in the forest. He nodded secretly and didn't say anything more, so the matter was settled.

Zu An was worried about his资质 being exposed and unable to continue hiding, but now that they had made such a conclusion, he was naturally pleased and didn't argue.

"A crow is still a crow, even if it flies to the treetop, it can't become a phoenix." Hong Xingying came to him, huffed, and turned to leave, as if talking to him would lower his dignity.

Zu An, relieved of his worry, didn't bother to argue with him and directly said to Cheng Shouping, "I'm going to school, you go back on your own."

"Son-in-law, did I say something wrong just now?" Cheng Shouping asked nervously.

Zu An smiled and patted his shoulder, "No, no, you said exactly what I wanted to hear."

Cheng Shouping immediately beamed, "Son-in-law, you are so good to me."

Zu An immediately pushed him away, "Speak properly, don't be so gay."

At this moment, a staff member came to lead them into the school. On the way, the staff member reminded them, "There are magical arrays around the school, mainly to prevent external enemies, but don't wander around to avoid triggering the arrays and encountering danger."

Zu An inwardly sighed in relief. Fortunately, he wasn't officially in the school's range yesterday, or he would have triggered countless arrays. He wondered what the arrays in this world were like, perhaps similar to the array set up by Dong'e Huang Yaoshi on Peach Blossom Island.

"How dangerous can it be?" Zu An probed.

"You'll find out later." The staff member answered with a knowing smile, as if seeing through his thoughts.

Next, they walked through a large open area, which looked like a playground from his previous life. However, what caught more attention was a group of boys squatting in a row on the ground.

"Squat down, and see if you dare to be late again!" A middle-aged man with a ruler in his hand glared fiercely at the boys on the ground.

The middle-aged man was balding, with a typical Mediterranean head. He stubbornly combed his side hair to cover his bald spot, but unfortunately, his side hair was sparse, making his scalp clearly visible.

Feeling his gaze, the middle-aged man turned and glared at Zu An, "What are you looking at!"

Oh, my temper!

Zu An immediately got angry and was about to retort, but the boy named... oh, no, Wei Suo, quickly pulled his sleeve, "Don't offend him!"

Zu An was taken aback and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, is he very powerful?"

Wei Suo whispered, "That's our school's head of discipline, Lu De, nicknamed Bright Top. He is the strictest with students. Did you see the ruler he uses to hit students?"

"I saw it." Zu An noticed a student being hit by the ruler and yelping in pain, and subconsciously answered.

"The ruler has a '德' character inscribed on it, so he often claims to 'win with virtue.' One hit from that thing is even more painful than Miss Chu's 'Wailing Whip.' He's not like the teacher at the gate; he has a lot of power, so don't provoke him." Wei Suo warned.

"Is corporal punishment still allowed these days?" Zu An complained, "Doesn't anyone manage it?"

"Lower your voice, lower your voice." Wei Suo was scared and quickly covered his mouth, "Besides the principal, he is the most powerful. A sixth-rank powerhouse, who dares to manage him? Moreover, there are many cultivators in the academy, all proud and prone to causing trouble, so they need a powerful person like him to keep them in line. The authorities tacitly allow it."

Zu An nodded and suddenly asked curiously, "You just entered the school, how do you know so much? Even about Miss Chu's 'Wailing Whip'?"

"Of course, I collected information before coming," Wei Suo said proudly, feeling the admiration in Zu An's eyes, and his boasting heart rose. He leaned in and nudged Zu An's shoulder, "Do you know the top ten beauties in our school's Red Beauty Record?"
